as a workaround we have had success with creating an LCF instead, i.e. load the folder into AC17 then go File > Libraries and Objects > Create Container... make sure to compress it under options.

" : / double quotes, colon, slash
I have seen it before where library part authors have include the size in inches of something added to the name with " as well as options that are in the the part used with '/'
These will cause a failure to upload a library as you mention. As part of correcting for some issues that failed silently or in more nasty ways, these library parts are now more stringently examined.

also as indicated the exact same folder structure worked for us on the previous hotfix.
btw. there is already a ticket in the AUS support system for which Judit will be provided with additional material today.

would be interesting to hear if the same applies to PC AC17 hotfixes...

so here is the solution to the mystery - if you use any custom folder icons on OSX this problem occurs, adjust your folder icons to the default and it works again... e.g. we use custom coloured folder icons as part of our QA system and have been doing so for the last 2 years - thus we are pretty sure this 'bug' was introduced by a reent AC17 hotfix (btw. we also do not experience this behaviour in AC15 & AC16).

We had many reports about BIM Server libraries that cannot be refreshed. After a long investigation we identified that in many situations invalid file and folder names are used in libraries. The majority of the problematic names originate from Mac computers, as OS X is much more allowing in this sense than Windows.
In order to make sure we only allow filenames that work on both platforms, we needed to disable some characters.
In your particular example when you set a custom folder icon on Mac, an icon file named Icon? will be created within the folder (with ls you can list that using terminal). Question mark is not allowed on Windows so such folder cannot be uploaded to our BIM Server.
Special characters that are prohibited on Windows in file/folder names: \ / : * ? " < > |
I know this is a bad news for your QA system, but I hope by knowing this you can figure out a structure that works.
